  • the second elastic member 174 drives the second swing end 172 to swing away from the box body 102, such that the first swing end 170 is restored.
  • the second elastic member 174 is an elastic plate on the press board 168.
  • the second elastic member 174 can be a spring, an elastic block or other elastic members.
  • the dust collection box 100 includes a sealing member 176, and the sealing member 176 is arranged at a joint of the components of the dust collection box 100.
  • the sealing member 176 is provided at the joint of the components to ensure the airtightness of the dust collection box 100, so as to facilitate the vacuuming of the robot vacuum cleaner 1000.
  • the sealing member 176 can be a seal ring or a seal strip. Specifically, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, one seal ring is provided between the first lid 104 and the top of the box body 102, one seal ring is provided between the filter holder 126 and an inner wall of the box body 102, and one ring is provided between the second lid 148 and the bottom of the box body 102.
  • the robot vacuum cleaner 1000 includes a robot body 200 and the dust collection box 100 according to any one of the above embodiments, and the dust collection box 100 is arranged to the robot body 200.
  • the box body 102 when the filter 106 is not mounted in the box body 102, the box body 102 cannot be closed with the first lid 104 by using the filter anti-missing-assembled device 108. In this way, it is possible to effectively prevent the user from forgetting to assemble the filter 106, hence prevent the air from being discharged without filtration, and also prevent the dust from affecting the service life of the electric motor.
  • the dust collection box 100 is detachably arranged to the robot body 200, for example, through a snap, a screw, an adhesive or the like.
  • a structure in which a first feature is "on" or “below” a second feature may include an embodiment in which the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, and may also include an embodiment in which the first feature and the second feature are not in direct contact with each other, but are contacted via an additional feature formed therebetween.
  • a first feature "on,” “above,” or “on top of' a second feature may include an embodiment in which the first feature is right or obliquely “on,” “above,” or “on top of' the second feature, or just means that the first feature is at a height higher than that of the second feature; while a first feature "below,” “under,” or “on bottom of' a second feature may include an embodiment in which the first feature is right or obliquely “below,” “under,” or “on bottom of' the second feature, or just means that the first feature is at a height lower than that of the second feature.
